Jesse Keighin told Nintendo’s legal team: “You might run a corporation, I run the streets”…

Nintendo has won a lawsuit against a streamer who regularly played pirated games before their release, while taunting the company that he couldn't be caught.

Last year Nintendo sued Jesse Keighin, who it claimed would stream games on various online platforms under his username Every Game Guru.

The lawsuit stated that since 2022, Keighin has streamed "at least 10 of Nintendo's leaked games" before they were released, "more than 50 times in total", the most recent at the time of the lawsuit being Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

It also claimed that Keighin taunted Nintendo, sending the company "a letter boasting that he has 'a thousand burner channels' to stream from and 'can do this all day'".

As reported by TorrentFreak, Keighin continued to taunt Nintendo's lawyers on Facebook, writing: "Should have done more research on me. You might run a corporation, I run the streets."

In April 2025, Nintendo filed a new motion claiming that Keighin had "evaded service" of the complaint, but was then served it through substituted means via both email and letters to his mother, grandmother and partner.

After Keighin failed to respond by the deadline, the court clerk entered default against him on March 26 and Nintendo asked the court to make a default judgement against him for $17,500 in damages.

A Colorado federal court has now granted Nintendo's request, and ordered Keighin to pay $17,500 in damages, but also said that two of Nintendo's requests for a permanent injunction couldn't be granted.

Because Kieghin mostly used emulation software available online, the judge ruled that Nintendo's request that he "destroy all circumvention devices" was rejected, because the request was "unclear" and "unreasonable".

Nintendo also asked for the injunction to apply to third parties who worked alongside Keighin, but the judge denied this too because Nintendo didn't specify who these third parties were, meaning the final judgement was simply for $17,500.

Do you guys even know why companies care so much about there IPs and image?

There are legal loop holes that say if you use an image of an ip to make money and the holder of that ip allows it then that holder can basically lose the rights to that image/ip.

It's why Disney is also very tight with the lawyering.

Or so they tell you. The truth is much simpler, they want control. They want to serve slop and make sure you have no alternatives.

That's what happens with trademarks, copyright cannot be lost even if you don't care about it for years.

There is literally no justification for Nintendo's stance on this. Sony gave up on fighting emulators years ago as well they no longer give a shit about people streaming emulated PSX, PS2, PS3 games, and yet they haven't lost a single one of their IPs. The only thing Sony still does is everything and then they'll bring down the hammer hard on websites hosting BIOS files and game ROMs for their consoles, but that's pretty much it.

For real...as if everyone here hasn't download roms and played them on emulators. "Oh it's different cuz it's Switch"...in the eyes of Nintendo, downloading Super Mario Bros for NES still makes you a criminal.

Sooo doing it is fine, but gloating about it is a bridge too far?

I can assure you that's only because it's not even close to being as much of a problem for Sony than it is for Nintendo.

Do you really think Sony would still 'not give a shit' if people were playing emulated Ps5 games weeks before the official launch date?
